regfiletype

Name

Synopsis

Description

Between Regina versions 2.4 and 3.0, the data files changed from
using an impenetrable and undocumented binary format to using
(optionally compressed) XML.

This utility determines which of these formats a given
Regina data file is in.

You may pass multiple files on the command line; the format of each
file will be written to standard output.

MacOS X Users

If you downloaded a drag-and-drop app bundle, this utility is
shipped inside it. If you dragged Regina to the main
Applications folder, you can run it as
/Applications/Regina.app/Contents/MacOS/regfiletype.

Windows Users

The command-line utilities are installed beneath the
Program Files directory; on some
machines this directory is called
Program Files (x86).
You can start this utility by running
c:\Program Files\Regina\Regina 4.96\bin\regfiletype.exe.
